Yes, it was cancelled. It's not "officially going to happen" at all. Even the site this article references mention says "... how can we make sure this incredible remake does see the light of day?"

It's not going to happen, it only *was* going to happen, and the magazine is only hopeful that support from the community will be enough to get this game back on track.

Easily my favorite scene: the "surrender" ambush that led to Xerxes' facial bleeding.

Awesome moment.

I love DOA, and hope to God that Sony isn't taking it from me. I don't play it because of the breast physics either -- it's much more than a button masher.

Sure you can beat a button masher with a button masher, but fight someone who can read moves and deliver counters consistently, mixing in throws every now and then, and mashing won't get you anywhere.

On top of that, the beautiful, tiered stages offer a lot more gameplay-wise than typical 'ring'-style fighters.

DOA doesn't suck, at all, but the notion in the minds of people who have never played it spreads when they push out those volleyball "games". People start to think it's all about the bounce.

I really don't want DOA to be a PS3 exclusive. I'll laugh my ass off if it's a volleyball game, or one of those Japanese pool party games, but DOA5 (or Code Cronus) will definitely upset me to lose.

Just for the people who are saying that we haven't seen this functionality before, or that this is impressive technology, this is actually fairly dated technology.

This is something we've done, with several different projects, here at Georgia Tech, with laughable budgets and limited resources. Compared to some of the things we've done, it really isn't all that impressive.

It is cool, though, as an addition to a card game that some people would play anyway.

It seems interesting, although leaving WWII (as overdone as the subgenre has been) is going to have this game competing with a much broader variety of competition.

I think that CoD has done some amazing work with WWII (although 3 seemed a bit rushed), and I really hope the sence of intensity that the series is known for will carry over past the Nazis and to these "Eastern Europeans."

Is this the largest profile game revolving around jihadists (not including generic, diverse terrorists in something like Counter Strike)?

I'm happy that Sony fans get something to laugh about, though I think losing an RPG hurts Microsoft more than K&L.

I personally didn't even know it was exclusive in the first place.

As for exclusives, Microsoft has plenty more than just Mass Effect (Too Human, Halo franchise, Gears franchise, Bioshock, Blue Dragon, TimeShift, Lost Odyssey, Alan Wake, Fable 2, et al.), but so does Sony.

This time around, it's not so much 'who has more exclusives' as it is 'who has the exclusives I want.' Some people will want Sony's more, some people will want Microsoft's more. I favor my 360, but that's not to say it's wrong to favor the PS3 (well, at least, it won't be when some games come out for it later). That's just not my preference.

I'm happy with the redesign of the bubble shield from the alpha build -- this version looks much better than the soccer ball version.

What's confusing, though, is how much larger one base is in comparision to the beach, which looks exactly the same. Either the generator in the center no longer marks a neutral center point, or CTF is going to favor one side over another.

Definitely looks fun though. Bring on more leaks!

"...greatest thing since (blank)..."

I should probably just review what I write instead of hoping for an 'edit' button.

The Wii is indeed flying off the shelves. I was there at launch for X many hours, so mine in particular certainly did.

But now it's sort of just sitting on mine... Surely it's the greatest thing since to whoever it's new to, but until some heavy titles that are really worthwhile start coming in, my Wii is just gathering dust.

Scratch that, it's working just fine as a means to play my Gamecube and VC games. Nostalgia is great and all, but the system shouldn't really revolve around it.

I would have thought it was better if that were actually John, since I was expecting Master Chief v Samus, but that was entirely awesome, especially with the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters in the fight, before and after Samus arives.
